Sandy Leon Hits First Home Run Of 2019

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon hit a three-run homer on Saturday, marking his only hit in a win over Seattle. The 369-foot shot capped off an eight-run third inning for the Sox. Leon is known for his defensive prowess and he only has two extra-base hits since being called up from Triple-A in mid-April, […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Drives In Two On Saturday

Boston Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had just one hit but drove in two runs during Saturday's win over Seattle. The two RBI were Bradley's sixth and seventh of the season. The 29-year-old hasn't been useful in fantasy at all this year, batting only .149, scoring just 11 runs, and stealing only three […]

Rick Porcello Solid After Rough First Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello lasted 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs, on five hits, while striking out five, and walking just one in Saturday's 9-5 win over Seattle. The Mariners tagged Porcello for all four runs, on four hits, in the first frame, but the 30-year-old was near perfect the rest of […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 7

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Week 7 Starts & Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups

Mid-May marks the fantasy baseball season's quarter pole, which can be exciting as data becomes robust, but also frightful for pitching as warmer air leads to long flies.

Mitch Moreland Leads Red Sox In Homers

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit his 11th home run Friday night against the Mariners. It was a three-run shot for Moreland as his power leads the Red Sox near mid-May. Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez may have something to say about that soon, but for now Moreland is producing what they haven’t. […]

Rafael Devers Drives In Four

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, one run scored, and four RBI against the Mariners Friday night. After hitting no home runs in the first few weeks of the season, Devers has hit two in the past two weeks. He’s also hitting for average, as evidenced by […]

David Price Will Throw Bullpen Session on Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. Price landed on the injured list May 6, but could return as early as next week. He's dealing with elbow tendonitis, so it kind of just depends on how Price is feeling after the bullpen session. He was […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Good For Seven Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez handled the Mariners on Friday night, going seven shutout innings with five strikeouts and one walk to earn the win. E-Rod, like most of the Red Sox staff, had a rocky start to the year, but has managed four quality starts out of his last six. This brings […]

Sauceda's Slants - Six Hitters to Buy for Today's Environment

Pitching days can be pure euphoria — firing up the games to watch your pitchers (hopefully) mow down the opposing team for several innings. Catching one of your hitters’ at-bats just doesn’t create that same lasting feeling. Or, at least that’s what I used to say. Nowadays, I find myself bracing for dear life whenever […]

Brock Holt Could Start Rehab Assignment Sunday

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (shoulder) could start his minor league rehab assignment on Sunday. The good news is that Holt could return to Boston at some point next week. The bad news is that he had just one hit in 16 at-bats before his injury and might be behind Michael Chavis, Eduardo Nunez […]

David Price Playing Catch Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) will play catch on Friday, and the team will then decide if he's ready to throw off a mound. Price's injury might only cause him to miss one or two starts, so he needs to remain owned in all fantasy leagues. The veteran left-hander is 1-2 with […]

J.D. Martinez's Power Is Lacking

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez is slashing a healthy .309/.384/.475 this year, but he hasn't been quite as good of a hitter as in years past. Only Jose Ramirez and Matt Carpenter have declined more than Martinez in OPS compared to 2018. Martinez is down .173 points from his 1.031 OPS last season, which […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Some pretty important moving and shaking went on this week in the bullpens across the league. Craig Kimbrel is still looking for somebody to love him (Queen reference in intro: ✔), and I'm still recommending anyone holding him in fantasy leagues without an NA spot lets him go. Thought it would be good to get […]
